Please Note, Because I agree with Mike Dillard so much, I have decided to become an affiliate of his, even though he is a “Competitor”. You should too. Therefor, all links in this post are my Affiliate Links, and I will earn a bit of money when you buy his stuff. It does not cost you anything extra, he is just paying me for the referral.

“Walk The Line…” – A Raving Rant By Mike Dillard Complete With Photos.

I’m sitting here about 11:00 PM watching “Walk The Line” for the fourth or fifth time, and every time I do, it still inspires me.

Why?

Because it’s about a man who followed his dream though hell and high water. He was willing to do whatever it took, and even managed to do so while battling the personal demons that haunted him and the conflicts he struggled with at home.

I want you to understand something about me, and from this day forward, I want you to take a long hard look at yourself and decide what it is that you REALLY want out of life because you’ve got to make a choice…

You either do what you need to, or you don’t…

There is no middle ground. No, “have your cake and eat it to”.

You see, I’m not intelligent by society’s standard. It took me 5 years to graduate from college with a 2.0 and my newsletters have more spelling errors than Paris Hilton has boyfriends.

I took all of my finance classes, all of my accounting classes, and all of my math classes THREE TIMES EACH, before I passed them.

But I was smart enough to know a few things that most people don’t…

I knew there was no “we’ll do it for you” solution to anything in life.

I knew I needed to master a few key skill sets if I was to get what I wanted, which is why I spent most of my college years, not in class, but at Barne’s and Noble reading “real” books on business.

I knew that if I wanted to be successful in networking, I’d need to get over my fear of the phone, so I took a job that required me to make 200-300 cold calls per day, and learned how.

But here’s the one thing I NEVER DID during the past 6 years that allowed me to go from “Point A to Point Rich…”

I never complained, I never whined, I never bitched, I never blamed anyone other than myself, and I never gave up because I would have rather spent my life in poverty trying, than to have lived in resignation that I didn’t have what it took.

I don’t want to burst your bubble, but here’s God’s Honest Truth…

If you want what I’ve got, you’ve got to be willing to do what I’ve done.

You’ve got to earn the right through blood, sweat, and tears, and there is NO alternative, so don’t ever ask me or anyone else if there’s an “easy way” to do something.

Are you willing to do that?

Then here’s “My List”… The price I paid to get to where I am, found on the bookshelves you’ll see pictured below…

Hi Mike
I just finished reading your post. What a fantastic read.I have been on line now for 4 years with my site and have literally earned peanuts but I’m still hear and I’m still trying even after 4 heart attacks in the past 3 years, so I know exactly where you are coming from. This time I know I will make it with the spider web marketing system and your help of course.
very best regards
Mel
